The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Master Howton felt conflicted about the Healing Pill. Truthfully, he did not trust the pill at all.

To him, if his treasured Life-Sustaining Pill was useless, nothing else in the world could save Keith's life.

However, he did not expect a young female star to use such a miraculous pill to bring the man who was about to be declared dead to life!

She had saved him with the pill. Keith had been dying, but the pill had rescued him and even healed him instantly. He had then woken up as if he had not sustained any injuries from the fall at all.

The miraculous effect was beyond Master Howton's understanding of the field of

medicinal pills.

The masters paid attention to the unity of man and nature in their practice, but what they valued the most was the way of alchemy.

In the feudal era, the masters who concocted pills with mercury and cinnabar, ultimately killing the emperor, were basically their predecessors.

When Master Howton had first started his practice, he had wanted to study the ancients' alchemy technique. However, there were too few ancient books on the scriptures. There were a few remaining pill recipes that he had tested, but they were useless. Therefore, it was difficult to make progress in this area.

For many years, he had gathered all kinds of materials and recipes before trying to concoct many kinds of medicines.

However, he had not succeeded in making anything useful.

Nevertheless, he had not given up his pursuit of alchemy even after his repeated failures. On the contrary, his sense of crisis had become stronger as he got older.

He had begun to retreat for a long time in order to truly refine the medicinal pills that would prolong life and longevity, shutting himself away from society and studying the technique of alchemy.

Unfortunately, it had not worked out so far.

After all the countless setbacks, he

had, at one point, believed that the life elixir was just a myth, and it did not exist in the world. How could an elixir bring back the dead and prolong life? The elixir for longevity was nothing but a fabricated tale passed down by their ancestors.

However, after seeing the effect of the Healing Pill, he was full of anticipation for his study in alchemy. Therefore, he ran over to Quinn and wanted to ask her more about the Healing Pill. Quinn did not hold any prejudice against him and answered honestly, "My father happened to have this medicine by luck, but he didn't tell me how he got it."

Upon hearing that, Master Howton immediately urged, "Could I trouble you to give me your father's contact? I really want to learn about this miraculous elixir and where it comes from..." Quinn did not expect Master Howton to be so persistent, and she could only say, "I'm so sorry, but my father is usually very busy. I hope you understand."

Master Howton said in a panic, "It's

fine. It doesnt matter as long as your father can spare a few minutes to tell me about the pill and how he got it. If he has no time, I can fly to Oskia and meet him for some advice..."

Just as Christian returned with the title deed, he saw Master Howton pestering Quinn, and his face turned ugly.

He asked, "Master Howton, didn't

you scoff at this Healing Pill earlier?

Why are you asking so many questions now? Isn't this

inappropriate? Isn't a master like supposed to be pure-hearted and

free from desires?" novelbin

Master Howton could hear the mocking in Christian's questions.

He was embarrassed, but still remained sincere, and he spoke frankly, "Mr. Acker, I was contemplative and naively thought that the best medicine in the world was my

treasured Life-Sustaining Pill. However, I finally know that I was just narrowminded."

Then, he hurriedly added, "That's when I realized the problem with me. Now, I want to open my eyes to see the world outside. Mr. Acker, Miss Golding, please. I would greatly appreciate your help..." Seeing that Master Howton had admitted his mistake sincerely, Christian could not help but swallow all the sarcasm he had wanted to say to him.
